Growing Pains

An adolescent is a teenager who acts like a baby when you don’t treat him like an adult.

So thankful for my parents' generosity and my relatives' hospitality!

A Young Man To Be Proud Of

Hard to believe, but this guy turned twelve a couple weeks ago!

He wanted to make his own carrot cake for the celebration, and (with sibling assistance) did an excellent job.

Can't resist posting this one of Lewis involuntarily "helping" blow out the candles.

Gifts included plenty of birthday money and books (a personalized ESV study Bible from Mom and Dad topping the list in significance).  We celebrated with Grammy and Grandad at lunch, and friends came over that evening for a wienie roast and Neverland viewing to cap off the day.  

Happy birthday to a fun and godly young man!  We look forward to seeing what God has in store for you.

Past, Present, and Future
